Safe Ways to Style Your Halo ExtensionsUpdated 3 hours ago

Yes — you can style your ThatHair Halo Set, but it’s important to style it gently and a little differently from natural hair.

Our Halo extensions are made with Kanekalon® synthetic fibers, which are designed to hold their shape and texture. Because of this, they don’t respond to heat styling the same way natural hair does.

With proper care and light styling, you can keep your Halo looking beautiful and well-blended with your natural hair.


Safe Ways to Style Your Halo

Gentle Brushing

Before and after wearing your Halo, gently detangle it using a wide-tooth comb. Always start from the ends and work upward to prevent unnecessary pulling.

Our 🔗ThatHair Styling Kit is designed to help care for your extensions gently.


Refreshing Waves with Rollers

If you have wavy Halo extensions, you can use rollers to help refresh and maintain the wave pattern.

Simply roll sections of the hair and let them sit for a while before wearing. This helps restore the shape of the waves without damaging the fibers.


Trimming for a Better Blend

If your Halo feels slightly too long, it can be trimmed to help it blend better with your natural hair.

This usually works best with straight Halo extensions, where trimming the ends can create a smoother blend.

For wavy extensions, keep in mind that cutting the hair may also shorten or alter the wave pattern, so trimming should be done carefully.

Many customers choose to have a professional stylist trim the extensions for the most natural result.


Styling Your Natural Hair for a Seamless Blend

One of the easiest ways to make your Halo extensions look natural is to style your own hair so it matches the texture of the extensions. When the textures are similar, the Halo blends much more smoothly with your natural hair.


If You Have Wavy Hair and Want to Wear Straight Extensions

If your natural hair is wavy and you plan to wear straight Halo extensions, gently straightening your natural hair with a flat iron can help the textures match.

This allows your natural hair and the extensions to blend more seamlessly for a smoother overall look.

Tip: Straightening only your natural hair (not the extensions) is usually enough to create a clean blend.


If You Have Straight Hair and Want to Wear Wavy Extensions

If your natural hair is straight and you want to wear wavy Halo extensions, lightly curling your natural hair can help it blend better with the waves of the extensions.

Tip: Adding soft waves to your own hair helps create a more natural, cohesive finish.


KEY TIPFor the most natural-looking result, simply make sure your natural hair texture is similar to the Halo texture you’re wearing.

A small adjustment to your natural hair can make a big difference in how seamlessly the extensions blend.


What to Avoid

Because the Halo is made with synthetic fibers, avoid:

• Curling irons or hot styling tools
• High heat from straighteners
• Excessive heat from blow dryers
• Harsh chemical treatments

Heat can damage synthetic fibers and may permanently affect the texture of the extensions.


Helpful Care Tips

• Detangle gently before and after each use
• Avoid heavy product buildup
• Store your Halo properly when not in use

We recommend storing your extensions in the 🔗 ThatHair Extension Storage Bag to keep them protected and tangle-free.
